I was with John the night of his birthday and mine a day before he died. Rip brother love Wayne M
I was the SIB SOCO Sgt who examined the scene of Cpl Bradley’s Death. Even now, it haunts my thoughts, my heart breaks when I think of the sad loss of such a wonderful young man with so much still to give. I remember and toast him, every year.
RIP 😢
I was 11 and my brother was 8 that 11th September 1999. Like every morning, we helped our grandpa to feed two cows that we had and walk with him to nearby grass-fields and listen to his stories and laughed to his jokes.
My elementary school was just next to these fields and I was at 6th grade. We had a bunch of kids from neighbourhood at the same class, and I was sharing same table with my buddy E. It was Saturday and our plan was to continue to work on our ‘treehouse’ that afternoon since it was really nice weather and no school.
I was 4 when war started and we moved more than 10 times and seen a lot of terrible things before we settled in that house and bought those cows. We had back our childhood finally and my grandad was so happy.
‘Harvest’ was announced that day and we saw bags of sand, transporter and lot of SFOR. It was not unusual to see that for us, but war was over for couple of years than and we were seeing military uniforms and vehicles less and less.
“Go home kiddos, something could happen, I’ll be back home in 15 mins just to gather cows!”, grandpa said.
We were just around 50m from the sandbags (as I remember).
On the way home we met my buddy E. He was carrying some bag that looked really heavy but we just said hello and went to our house (~150m away) to grab some food and wait him to continue work on our ‘treehouse’.
The moment we stepped in the house we felt huge explosion. Everything was shaking and we were so scared, like war was ‘re-started’ in my head.
…
My grandpa never came back home.
We never built our treehouse.
…
My parents live there now and every month I come to visit them and I pass that grass-fields and memorial place and give my respect.
Rest in Peace to my grandpa Atif (Ahmo) Ribic and Corporal Peter Jonathon Bradley.
